Work-Study Program

The Federal College Work-Study program at Drexel is designed to help college students who have demonstrated financial need defray costs during the school year. Qualifying students work part-time to earn money for education-related expenses such as books, transportation, and personal expenses.

Federal College Work-Study earnings are paid on a biweekly basis. Earnings come from your financial aid package and you will not be eligible for an increase once you have earned the maximum amount. The pool of available funds is renewed at the beginning of the fiscal year (July 1).
